Reseña del libro "So, What's the Big Deal about Scrum?: A Methodology Handbook for Developers Volume 1 (en Inglés)"
When I was in graduate school at UMUC studying for my Master's in Information Technology: Software Engineering, I remember having to utilize wide-ranging reading sources to understand Scrum. The information was scattered and detailed in various books and articles which all stated the same or conflicting information. I wished there was one definitive book that detailed quickly the who, what, where, when, why, and how on Scrum. And here it is! The book covers iterative and evolutionary development, agile development, key motivations for iterative development, implementing an iterative or agile method, and why projects fail. It explains what Scrum is, its emphasis, history and origins, classification, life cycle and process, roles, practices, sprints, meetings, the value of Scrum meetings, and its work products and artifacts. The book lists Scrum's values, strengths, benefits, contributions, challenges, failings, misunderstandings, and advantages and disadvantages. It provides key Scrum adoption strategies, applicability, areas where it is appropriate, managing releases, application and product focus, scaling Scrum for large projects, risk management, and recommendations. This book is designed to help developers and students understand the Scrum method for improving collaborative productivity in app, game, software, and web development.
